A preliminary study on the visual outcomes after LaserACE for presbyopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the visual outcomes over 1 year after laser anterior ciliary excision (LaserACE) procedure for presbyopic subjects.

Methods

A prospective, non-randomized, non-comparative study. Eight emmetropic eyes of four patients with presbyopia were included in this study. All eyes were treated with the LaserACE procedure using the VisioLite erbium-YAG laser (Ace Vision Group, USA). Subjects were assessed preoperatively and at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Outcome measures included questionnaires, visual acuity, manifest refraction, pupil size, keratometry, reading prescription, and intraocular pressure.

Results

Binocular distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) had improved from 0.33±0.12 logMAR to
